In a significant development, Ukraine has announced that its Defense Minister Oleksoo Reznikov would be succeeded by Rustem Umerov, a prominent Crimean Tatar lawmaker.

He reportedly claimed that Umerov's appointment is expected to facilitate "new approaches" and improved interaction with the military and society as well.
